Mr Skates said he was "delighted with the range of schemes I've been able to announce today and commend the high quality of applications we received across these grants".

"It's also very pleasing that a number of these projects feed directly into some of our key transport priorities such as North East and South Wales Metros, improved local bus services and better choices for communities," he added.
